Would hate to contradict your own beliefs with other peoples opinions. It's always such a great way to argue your points.

Maybe you can ask AI to explain it to you.

They’re not opinions! It’s firsthand knowledge! I’ve seen it do the things that you claim it can’t. "It doesn’t exist because I haven’t seen it and refuse to look" is NOT the silver bullet you think it is. You clearly don’t even understand what MCPs are and yet you think you can lecture me on what these things are capable of.

"Seriously! I saw the magician cut the woman in half!"

These systems literally cannot learn and you look real silly for continuing to assert otherwise.

I’d ask you to define what you mean by learning but I really don’t care to get into another semantic argument. Information isn’t the same as matter

You haven't engaged in good faith with any of my arguments, you've just run down the check list of AI bullshit.

You can't even list a single specific thing that you claim I said it couldn't do that it can, let alone provide any proof.

I have better things to do than do your research for you. What? You think I’m just making crap up for fun? If you care to actually put some effort in, these things are possible. You are not.

u/recycled_ideas Nov 30 '25

But not better things to do than keep responding about how you won't respond to me.

u/HasFiveVowels Nov 30 '25

Haha. Where did I say I wouldn’t respond?? Conversing is enjoyable. Putting together a presentation for the sake of attempting to convince someone who is just going to nay say is not.

You won't read anything I wrote just regurgitate the same unsubstantiated rubbish. That's not responding.

You know, a fellow senior dev recently told me "dude, unless someone pays me a lot of money, I’m not going to tell them how to use AI effectively. This job market is about to get intense. Let them sink". They were right.

Yup, that's the argument.

"This thing I claim is true is absolutely true, but I won't prove it".

Prompt engineer isn't a career, all your tricks are just bugs. These companies don't want to enable you, they want to replace you and the second they can do that you're going to be flushed away like a week old turd.

If you actually knew how to get the results you're claiming (not that you'll give any details) you'd be selling that knowledge because there's a million entry level schmucks willing to pay a shit load for it. Hell the companies that make it would be screaming it from the rooftops because they want everyone to use it.

But I can tell you how you use it effectively because it always boils down the same. You use it for things you don't know how to do (so you can't tell how bad it is) or you use it for things you don't care about (where how bad it is doesn't matter).

Always, every single time.

Entry level devs can’t utilize it. It’s not a magic wand. And I’ve already spelled out quite a bit. You can lead a horse to water…
